Police have released surveillance video of a man who stole thousands of dollars worth of jewelry, savings bonds and cash from three apartments in the same residential building over the last two months.

Police say that man first burglarized an apartment in the building, which is near 27th Street and 25th Road, on Sept. 5 between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. The man took savings bonds, jewelry and $3,000 worth of cash and went off in an unknown direction.

The man went back to the building on Oct. 18 and broke into another apartment between 12:30 p.m. and 1 p.m. Police say that he apparently left without stealing any property.

The man returned to the building for the last time on Oct. 19 sometime between 9 a.m. and 6:30p.m. He managed to get inside an apartment and made off with jewelry worth about $3,400.

Anyone with information is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).

The NYC Ferry system is set to undergo a significant expansion in coming months, with the Astoria route, connecting the western Queens neighborhood to Wall Street, getting a new stop at the Brooklyn Navy Yard this spring.

A 24-year-old Brooklyn man who crashed his car on the BQE in 2017 and left a 25-year-old Astoria woman inside his burning vehicle to die was sentenced yesterday to four to 12 years in prison, according to the Brooklyn District Attorney’s office.
